Are you a leader in any way? Are you a teller or are you a question asker? I tend to be a lecturer! Today our guest is Bob Tiede who has made a profession of leading with questions because Great Leaders ask Questions…did you know that Jesus asked a ton of Questions…Bob even counted them all – do you know the number? Call in today and give us your best guess and you will win a pack of Bob’s books. Asking questions…Is there a faith element in all of that? I think there is and our Savior demonstrated it best. 

Bob’s giving away a limited number of copies of his book, call 866-713-9675 for your chance to get one.

As Christ Followers out in the Marketplace, should we look different, sound different and act different than our pre-Christian friends and competitors? If we run a business, or lead in an organization, what are the defining characteristics or qualities of a Great Christian Business Leader, or any leader proclaiming Christ as savior and Lord. Jesus changed all of us, including our ability to lead like Him. So Todd Hopkins has been working on this list, for himself and the young professionals he pours his life into on a regular basis. He wanted to share these 10 qualities with our audience so we can all put them into practice. Today we will deal with the first 5 and then in December we will hit the final 5.

Ten Qualities of Great Christian Business Leaders – #1-5

* Protector of Gratitude* Committed to prayer, reading and learning  – As leaders, our prayers must outpace normal people.   For our people, organization and ourself.  Prayer of Jabez!* Challenge culture’s definition of success with God’s  – Care more what God thinks than what people think.  Many say this, yet what people think is influencing their decisions more than what God says.* Align personal and Business goals with God’s calling* Committed to and implements system of distraction control – Good is enemy of great, residual distraction (we are addicted to distractions), environment – Stop using the “B” Word (busy)

I don’t think there is a question that our public servants often get the least amount of public appreciation. Today we are going to talk about public school teachers. Teachers often get paid okay but their work environments can be tough. Being an educator means dealing with Administrators, School Board members, Parents and the least of their trouble – the kids.  In today’s public school environment can you even be a Christian?  It seems like there is a large outcry about people sharing their Christian faith in schools.  Martha and I are here today to let you know that there are lots of Christian educators and we are going to hear from one today. Craig Olsen and I grew up in the same youth group 35 years ago. We lost touch after Martha and I got married and moved away. A couple of years ago we connected on Facebook and recently we actually had a conversation on Zoom. Craig has a great story to tell about how God is using him in his position in the public-school system in MN.

Do you know what the number one affliction to render Christians impotent in living out their faith is the affliction of misinformation. So many of us have been told that to really serve in the kingdom of God, we need to be a pastor of a church or missionary overseas.  That is an outright lie. You can be a pastor almost anywhere you go if you shepherd over people. You can be a missionary anywhere you go if there are lost people who need to find Jesus.  Steve Kowalski figured this out. Steve has served in Hollywood and now he serves as a missionary in the Tampa Bay area. He ministers to people who need their stuff moved from one place to another. While he is moving peoples stuff, he tries to move their hearts to the only one who can bring them peace. Steve is here to tell his story.

We’ve heard about army invasions between countries. Invasions of insects on our picnics, even invasions on our privacy on the internet, but what happens when God invades your business?  Does it mean automatic success? Does it mean p & l’s in the black and a big Lexus in the driveway?  What happens when God reveals to you that He wants to be involved in your work life, even running your business. Kim Avery experienced just that about 5 years ago. God invaded her business, and she has never been the same again. Author of The Prayer Powered Entrepreneur and Co-host of the Professional Christian Coaching today. She’s got a story to tell, and we are here to capture it for you.

Prayer. Does it really make a difference? Does gathering as a nation to pray on a single day a year change our trajectory?  Some would say no, some would say yes, God would say that all prayer matters. He loves hearing from you. The National day of prayer was established to unite our nation in prayer. The National Day of prayer task force has been led by many and now it is led by Kathy Branzell, longtime friend of iWork4Him because of her involvement in the Love2020 movement. Kathy is here today to kick off the 2021 preparations for the National Day of prayer on 5/6/21.  Kathy will give us the skinny and help us to prepare our workplaces for prayer every day.
